Trump asking justices to bar demands for taxes, bank records - APNews.com

Trump asking justices to bar demands for taxes, bank records - APNews.com | Agents of Behemoth | Scoop.it
From apnews.com - May 12, 2020 11:11 AM

President Donald Trump is hoping to persuade a Supreme Court with two of his appointees to keep his tax and other financial records from being turned over to lawmakers and a New York district attorney.

 

The justices are hearing arguments by telephone Tuesday in a pivotal legal fight that could affect the presidential campaign, even with the coronavirus outbreak and the resulting economic fallout. Rulings against the president could result in the quick release of personal financial information that Trump has sought strenuously to keep private.

Occupy Hades's insight:

Donald Trump is hoping that the Supreme Court will help him break another campaign promise and avoid accountability. Unfortunately, avoiding accountability seems to be the one thing that Trump does best.

BUSTED: Second GOP senator caught dumping stocking — after receiving coronavirus briefing – Raw Story

BUSTED: Second GOP senator caught dumping stocking — after receiving coronavirus briefing – Raw Story | Agents of Behemoth | Scoop.it
From www.rawstory.com - March 19, 2020 11:00 PM

Two Republican senators have admitted in public filings to having sold stock just before the crash of the stock market. The first was Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC). Hours later, The Daily Beast reported interim Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA).

Occupy Hades's insight:

“Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) reported the first sale of stock jointly owned by her and her husband on January 24, the very day that her committee, the Senate Health Committee, hosted a private, all-Senators briefing from administration officials, including the CDC Director and Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institutes of Health of the United States, on the coronavirus,” The Beast noted.

The coronavirus outbreak is exposing the devastating gaps between the rich and poor at a moment when America is primed for class warfare - Business Insider (France)

The coronavirus outbreak is exposing the devastating gaps between the rich and poor at a moment when America is primed for class warfare - Business Insider (France) | Agents of Behemoth | Scoop.it
From www.businessinsider.fr - March 21, 2020 10:28 AM

The coronavirus outbreak is exposing the vast differences between how the rich and poor live in America in 2020.

Occupy Hades's insight:

"As the coronavirus has spread in the US, celebrities like Kris Jenner and NBA players have gotten tested quickly before they have symptoms, likely using private labs and concierge doctors. Meanwhile, shortages have made it difficult and time-intensive for most Americans to get tested." - Kate Taylor | Business Insider (France)

Richard Burr told a small group what he knew about COVID-19. Why not the rest of us? | Charlotte Observer | Agents of Behemoth | Scoop.it
From www.newsobserver.com - March 19, 2020 2:57 PM

A secret recording of remarks Sen. Richard Burr made to a group on Feb. 27 show he expected the COVID-19 outbreak to be far more serious than the Trump administration was saying. 

Occupy Hades's insight:

"According to a secret recording obtained by NPR, Burr had a dire message. Even as President Trump was downplaying the threat from the coronavirus that had just arrived in the U.S., the senator warned that the virus was going to spread rapidly, perhaps even on the scale of the deadly Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918." - The Editorial Board | Charlotte Observer
